Run in honor of Becca and girls

I will start at the beginning.

I met Becca when she was 13 years old. 

She was a sweet girl with such a gentle nature. Her heart was golden, full of life and love! She blessed us, as did her mom, with living with us for the whole summer. Our youngest was only 1 at the time and she loved teaching him things that irritated me and dad. :)

Like teaching our one year old how to scream. 

One of our fondest memories is the birth of her sweet girls. Jaramiah and Becca came to me when pregnant with Michelle and asked me to be there with them for the birth. Iremember saying "and what if I say no? What if I just want to be mom/grandma and not assist?"

Jaramiah responded. "I will drag you in and make you because Becca wants you there. And if I can make it happen for her....I will !"

Michelle's appearance took a long time but payed off with the sweetest of babies.

I loved my role. All the kids moved in with us for a few months and I loved being grandma and mom. Becca blessed me with a sweet girl that loved to steal my shoes and wear my hats! 

My husband had been fighting cancer and Michelle was the light of paw paws eyes. Miah made him promise that since both Becca and his daddy had died (Michelle is named after Miaha' s dad) that Paw paw Tim would always be there for his daughter. 

Fast forward a few years and we have the entrance of Jarecca named after both her parents. You never think your heart can love another human so fully....and than God blesses you with another sweet soul. Becca again came to me and said "mom, I can't do this without you. Be there?" And of course I was! she pushed forever for baby girl. And was rewarded with a huge baby that took after her daddy in almost every way.

We were stunned. This girl was the light of our eyes. Michelle was such a good big sister. Took such good care and loved her fully. As they both grew we watched Becca become such an amazing mother. Her tender heart knew such love. 

Miah passed away in a motorcycle accident leaving Becca and the girls without him. Becca and the girls lived with us off and on. And were always welcome in our home. 

One of the best things in life is being a parent. It is also one of the hardest things!

We watched her heart break losing Miah. We watched and helped her get a stable job and be able to move out with the girls into an apartment. She met Brandon and moved him into her apartment....after a while things changed. She began to be isolated. Only seeing a few people and not for long. We were not seeing her anymore. Our belief was, the isolation going on, is what kept her away. The abuse she shared with me was difficult to hear...and trying to give help was not accepted...

Than they went missing.... all of them...my heart sank to my feet. And bile rose. They looked and searched and finally they were found.

Our girls were murdered and than he committed suicide!

I don't want this pain of the past year to ever happen to someone else. . . I want the love of family to stay together. I want the women's shelter in Kenai to have the funding to help girls in my daughter's situation get help before they are gone and a family is hurting like we are.

The Lee Shore Center in Kenai Alaska has a run for women on August 8th 2015. I want to raise enough money for the shelter to run for 1 month. That takes almost 3000$.

I will be walking this event in honor of my girls. They were taken all to soon. 

Please run/walk/roll with us. 30$ to register....
